New 4.5-Star Hotel Under Construction in Bundaberg to Address Accommodation Gap
What happened
Construction has begun on a new 4.5-star, three-storey hotel in Bundaberg, which will offer 97 rooms. This project addresses a regional accommodation shortage of 800 beds every night, according to the Bundaberg Regional Council. The hotel, located near Bundaberg Airport, is expected to finish construction by the middle of next year.

Why it matters
The Bundaberg Regional Council noted that the region has not attracted significant short-term accommodation development in 20 years. The council stated that the low rates of aging motels previously discouraged developers, but the new hotel is intended to refresh the hospitality offering and bring more travelers to the area.
